Egg Donors:

The UK Cypriot Fertility Association, through their collaboration with Cyprus IVF Centre (CIC,) has access to a large and diverse pool of young Caucasian donors. The clinic can also provide donors from African, Asian and India. The choice of donor is up to you; the pool of suitable donors will make you feel comfortable with your decision. Egg donors are all young, highly educated, and most importantly, do not suffer any fertility problems themselves.

Donors are women of 18-30 years of age with most being 21-28 years old. Often they are students or graduates of former Soviet Republics such as Russia, Ukraine and Moldova who are living or studying in Turkey and Cyprus.

Egg donors will have a normal body weight, healthy medical and genetic history (including her family) and will have tested negative for all the infectious disease screening performed according to the standard criteria of the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA).

Egg donors available at the clinic cannot donate more than three times. Each egg donor undergoes an extensive consultation with the assistance of a doctor and a nurse, to determine her suitability for egg donation. Physical characteristics required by the recipient and the blood groups are matched before identifying most suitable donors for each recipient.

All egg donors are fully screened prior to being accepted. Baseline ultrasounds and blood work will be carried out to determine hormone levels, absence of substance abuse, sexually transmitted or other diseases, and her physical eligibility to undergo follicle stimulation and egg retrieval.
All donors are also physically screened and counseled to ensure that the candidate is able to deal with the psychological aspect of the treatment.

The criteria for donor selection include:

1. Age less than 30 years old
2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level not more than 8 IU/L
3. Body Mass Index (BMI) not more than 25
4. No previous ovarian surgery
5. No personal history or family history of genetic or familial illness
6. No history of infertility

In addition, all donors are screened and must be completely clear with respect to:

1. Chlamydia
2. CMV
3. Cystic Fibrosis Gene
4. Hepatitis B
5. Hepatitis C
6. HIV
7. Kidney function
8. Liver function
9. Syphilis

If additional screening of the egg donor is requested for other rare genetic disorders, the next step is for the husband/partner to be screened for carrier status. If he is found to be positive, the egg donor is then screened.
